Unable to edit a component from a Page created with WebTemplate

xI have a Web Template that a Page template is pointing to.  When I create a page using this template, the video component does not give me the normal Editing options....and in Preview the video will not run.
 
I have this in my web template:
 
<div class="row sectionBlockLayout text-left" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; margin: 0px; min-height: auto; padding: 8px;">
  <div class="container" style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;">
    <div class="col-md-12 columnBlockLayout" style="flex-grow: 1; display: flex; flex-direction: column; min-width: 250px; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; padding: 16px; margin: 60px 0px;"><video allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="Upload_Invoice.mp4" controls="controls" data-componentname="Video" style="max-width: 100%; width: 100%; height: 450px;"></video><a href="/CourseContent" id="video1" class="btn button1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Return to Course</a></div>
  </div>
</div>
 
I found this:
<div id='mainContent' class='wrapper-body' role='main'>
  {% include 'Page Copy' %}
</div>
but I don't know how the end syntax should look.
I tried surround what I have with this.....but that didn't make the video control edit work.
 
Can someone tell me the proper syntax to make this control editable?

    In many cases, Web Templates are nested. For example, 
     
    {% include 'Page Copy' %}
    calls the Page Copy web template. This in turn loads the HTML Copy from your web page. 
     
    "Page Copy" is the section used by Power Pages Editor for inserting all your content, images, videos etc. 
     
    Try creating a page using an OOB web page using a OOB web template. Insert your video into it.
     
    If it displays the way you want it to, try copying that section of code into your custom web template and test. 

    But if you want the video to display and play in your Power Pages Editor browser tab, that is a different problem. Power Pages Editor is basic and doesn't display custom functionality very well.

    Hi, what exactly do you mean by "Editing Options", my understanding is that a <video> element only displays a video in read-only mode
